Field Trip Friday: Soaring Through the Trees at Lums Pond State Park
Adventure, nature, and future plans took center stage this week during Field Trip Friday! Secretary Shawn M. Garvin Patterson and staff from DNREC (Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control) headed to Lums Pond State Park—and the trip didn’t disappoint.
Up in the Trees at Go Ape Zipline & Adventure Park
The team quite literally reached new heights as they took to the canopy with Go Ape USA, the high-flying zipline and ropes course nestled in the trees above Lums Pond. From rope bridges to swinging tarzan-style into nets, the adrenaline rush offered a one-of-a-kind way to experience Delaware’s great outdoors.
This isn’t just an amusement—it’s a full-body challenge and a great reminder of how outdoor recreation can bring people together while connecting them to nature.
